How to Become a Prayer Companion
- 1). Seek out an individual who has the same or similar religious interests and beliefs. This person should also believe strongly in the power of prayer and be unafraid to take a stance for her religion. Sharing thoughts and feelings with someone else can be very intimate so your prayer companion needs to be an individual who is sensitive to others' feelings and can maintain confidentiality.
- 2). Set a consistent time and place to meet and pray. Keeping a regular prayer schedule will keep both you and your companion on course. You will be able to plan your activities and the remainder of the day around your prayer session. Your religious activities should always be a priority and both of you should commit to a consistent relationship of worship and prayer.
- 3). Bring new ideas and suggestions for the content of the prayers. The advantage of having a prayer companion is that there will be two perceptions on prayer, how to pray and what to request. You will learn from each other and be able to bounce ideas back and forth about the meaning and power of prayer.
- 4). Observe how powerful your prayers can be in your daily life. Look for miracles or unexpected results in your day-to-day routine and in your prayer companion's life. Watch and wonder at how your prayers affect individuals that you include in your prayer requests. Sometimes God might answer pleas and questions in a totally unexpected and dramatic way, or God could decide that the time is not right for you to receive what you so desperately desire. Part of the prayer process is putting yourself in God's hands and trusting him to do what is best for you and your prayer companion.
- 5). Include gratitude as part of the prayer process. Prayer isn't just asking God to help you or petitioning for objects and events to go in your favor but is also about thanking God for all you have received and the blessings in your day-to-day life. Share your blessings and achievements with your prayer partner.
